Altoids PSK (yet another one...)

[SpookyPistolero]

I've always pretty much spread my 'personal survival stuff' across my person, and still do. A match case here, some cordage there, and a really good main kit always on my person.

Well, I broke down and bought some Altoids at the market just to see what I would come up with. After dumping those curiously strong mints out, I proceeded to ravage the apartment looking for small goodies. This is the kit in its unfinished form:

Contents:
tea bag
strike anywhere matches
various important meds in a ziploc bag, wrapped in duct tape
Mini-SAK
Mini-Bic
Chlorine tabs
Alcohol pads
bandaids
neosporin
anti-diarrheal tabs
sandpaper
foil
clothes pin(s)
needle and thread

The big black compass thing goes on the outside with a paracord wrap, and the whole thing goes into a heavy duty ziploc bag and into my pocket. The big black thing has a compass, LED, and red flashing LED. Very handy!

The kit isn't quite finished, it lacks a few goodies. Some fishing supplies, extra clothes pins, and a couple of other little things hidden on a list somewhere that I'm too lazy to go find.

Just thought I'd share another example!

Nice.

Whats the sandpaper for?

 

[SpookyPistolero]

Mostly knife sharpening, but it's also handy for wood work, like putting a good point on a fishing jig or a cleaner angle on a trap, for example

Maybe lighting matches too?

Nice.

Whats the sandpaper for?

It's just the pits when you are out and break a nail.....

Go for emery cloth-- cuts better on metal, good for striking matches, etc.

Nice start! Fill 'er up!

This too! I actually always glue a little piece of skateboard tape on any match containers, just in case.
